What happens at a courthouse wedding?

well first of all congratulations on your upcoming wedding, we got married in a court house, you don't need to exchange rings, you can invite pretty much as many people as you want and some places even let you put up decorations and do photos, it pretty much goes how you want it to go, you can exchange vows or use the traditional ones, also our judge had four different sets of vows to chose form or we could have written our own, it doesn't take that long, and when your hubby gets back from Iraq you can have a welcome home party and reception al in one, good luck and congrats again!!
